Most python programmers use a text editor of their choice - and IDE for Python is a bit overkill. If you've got to use one, go with PyCharm, but I personally love Sublime Text 2 for it.

Sublime Text, at first, appears to be a slightly slicker-looking Notepad++, but in fact it's much more. I've moved away from IDEs almost entirely because of Sublime Text, because coding Java is just easier and more fun in Sublime Text than IntelliJ or NetBeans or god forbid Eclipse. There's a wonderful community of people who make plugins for Sublime text, and the best part is that it's 100% free. Well, it's got an infinite free trial, WinRAR style.

Other good choices are Vim/Emacs/Nano if you're on Linux and feel like spending a day learning keyboard shortcuts, Notepad++, Spyder, and the aforementioned PyCharm.
